Here a handful of sectors on which the firm is Overweight:
Information technologies
We stay overweight in the technologies sector. The deteriorating technical image and apparent rotation in the market place does trigger some angst. However, with basic trends healthier (note the revision trends for 2021 and 2022) we are going to remain Overweight for now. As the year progresses, fundamentals must overcome ‘factor’ investing.
Consumer discretionary
We stay overweight in the customer discretionary sector with a bias to favor the equal-weight index. Record levels of customer savings, added government transfer payments coming, and a return to semi-typical later this year are compelling tailwinds for investors in Consumer Discretionary stocks.
Financials
We are moving to overweight for the financials based on a time frame beyond 3 months. The outlook for the sector is a lot brighter offered larger interest prices and expectations for fast financial development this year. Earnings estimates are becoming revised larger due to the more favorable backdrop.
The sector’s tight correlation (91% more than the previous 12 months) highlights the value of interest price moves for the sector, at least for the close to term. With interest prices experiencing a fast boost (current 3-typical deviation move in the 2/10 year is the only one recorded more than the previous 30 years), they may possibly pull back at any time and take the Financials with them.
We would not wait for such an occurrence, offered our belief that the yield curve remains steep and interest prices will be larger more than the next 12 months. The appealing relative valuation is an added explanation to favor the sector.
Communication services
We continue to favor the communication services sector. The sector will not see the heady earnings development of the deep cyclical sectors in 2021. However, consensus forecasts reflect respectable mid-teens development for the year. Adding appealing valuation and positive technical momentum to the anticipated earnings development reaffirms our Overweight stance.
Industrials
We anticipate industrials to advantage as investors seek approaches to play the economy accelerating in the months ahead. The sector will get an added enhance as manufacturing added benefits from providers scrambling to replenish beneath-stocked inventories.
